Fan Jinghua: New Year Resolution

New Year ResolutionBother with no big issues such as democracy and food contaminationSo as to spare myself from cursing, and I’ll browse through social news only,To find pieces for a good laughOr to bump into some to let out my pompous indignationMake sure to empty my mind and schedule over the deskOnce a fortnight, for a few hours or a whole night, to stay awakeChatting with you, but open to anything and embrace whatever to comeWhen we have a few free days, we’d go to a place, any place, on an impulseBringing no luggage, not for sightseeing but for not seeing or being seenSo that we can have only ourselves to recollectI’ll write many poems about it, distorting the details a little at a timeUntil you cannot recognize yourself in itAnd even I think you were another woman I had an affair withI am so in love but, no, I will never tell Jan. 25, 2009

I welcome you
